Here we come!
As soon as the tribe released the news about the movie "Blade Girl", the industry showed a tacit smile.
at the same time.
Netizens also instantly understood the tribe’s thoughts:
The martial arts TV series invested by the tribe before was targeted by Xingmang, and this time they should want to fight back in the same way!
Suddenly!
The media started to add fuel to the fire!
Various news, creating opposing views.
The films from both sides started their respective promotions in such an atmosphere, which was full of tension.
Lin Yuan didn't have any special feelings after learning about this.
He is quite confident about the movie "Resident Evil".
Because the zombie setting in this movie will be novel to the Blue Star audience.
Lin Yuan has done research.
He knew that there was no specific concept of zombies on Blue Planet!
Even though some people on Blue Star mention words like "zombie", they actually mean zombies.
Yes.
What the Blue Star audience understands as zombies are actually just zombies!
Zombie and zombie are only one word different on the surface, but there are actually huge differences in their settings!
The most obvious differences are:
Zombies often refer to a strange creature that is formed after a person dies.
To deal with zombies, you often need to use some magical means, bullets have little effect on them.
Zombies are often caused by viral infections.
This creature will devour the flesh and blood of living people and is highly infectious, but most of them can be dealt with if there are enough bullets.
So:
Zombies are often single characters that appear as embellishments in Blue Star horror films.
For example, ghosts may possess the dead and then pretend to be dead to do evil.
In fact, even on Earth, the concept of zombies was only introduced to China after it appeared in works such as "Resident Evil".
Before that.
The word "zombie" as understood in China also means zombie.
In fact.
Even when the foreign concept of zombies is introduced to China, it is sometimes translated into Chinese as zombie, but people don’t know that there is actually an essential difference between the two if we judge them strictly.
This "Resident Evil" will introduce the concept of zombies for the first time.
also.
The film mentions science fiction concepts such as the Red Queen.
It's cool to have this kind of intelligence appear in the movie as a villain, and the classic scene it triggers is the one where the human body is cut by laser.
Scarier than zombies.
It was inevitable despair.
Not to mention that Lin Yuan also invested in this movie and upgraded the scene level of the original movie.
As a series of movies, the investment in "Resident Evil" has always been low. The combined investment of several films is about the same as the investment level of one Marvel film. This is also one of the reasons why the later films have become worse and worse.
Lin Yuan’s investment has increased a lot.
The most direct impact of investment and upgrading is that the scene is more impactful, the number of zombies is increased, and the special effects are also higher. For example, the loss of the dog and the final zombie boss have very good effects.
This resulted in the filming of the movie costing about 300 million yuan in total.
Adding on to the current investment in publicity, it is about to reach the level of 400 million.
Although it is not as good as "Blade Girl", which is said to have an investment of 700 million yuan and a revenue of over 800 million yuan including publicity, it can definitely be called a big production.
Therefore.
Without paying much attention to this matter, Lin Yuan continued to write "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
However, Xingmang became nervous and significantly increased its efforts and investment in publicity, obviously not wanting to lose to the tribe.
then.
Lin Yuan spent the following days writing "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
When the novel was halfway done, it was finally the end of the month and the movie "Resident Evil" was released!
…
This day.
A cinema.
On the screen in the hall, the poster of "Resident Evil" is clearly displayed.
The heroine Xia Fan in the poster is wearing a red dress, showing off her great figure, giving people a cool and capable feeling.
Ticket purchasing area.
A large number of viewers bought tickets for the movie "Resident Evil".
On the automatic massage sofa in the theater, two men were chatting while holding their already purchased Resident Evil movie tickets:
“The audience enthusiasm is pretty good.”
"The reason why this kind of zombie theme has such appeal is probably because of the envy of others."
"After all the previous works, Xianyu's movies have gradually formed their own signature. Our task is not easy. If we are not careful, we will offend a lot of Xianyu's fans."
"No way, he gave too much."
When the two men said this, they suddenly smiled at each other.
The man on the left is Tu Zheng and the man on the right is Jia Haoren.
These two people are film critics.
However, today these two people came to the cinema to watch "Resident Evil", not just to write two film reviews.
They came with a mission.
Someone from the tribe contacted them and hoped that they could write two reviews criticizing "Resident Evil"!
At first, the two refused.
They are all conscientious film critics who have a strong grasp of their professional ethics. How could they purposefully discredit a movie
This is immoral!
Until the contact person from the tribe opened a box and said, "If the effect is good, these are all yours."
The two agreed.
The tribe is really good at judging people.
After all, Xianyu is shooting a commercial film this time.
Most of Xianyu's art films have received rave reviews, and it is difficult to find an angle to criticize them, but it is different for commercial films. It is not difficult to find an angle to criticize such films.
In fact, many people in the industry make this kind of extra money.
Just like those internet celebrities would also take money to act as water armies to lead the trend.
In today's world, it is normal to say things that are not from the heart in order to make money.
There are such gray areas in any industry.
In the competition between movies, using this method to discredit the opponent is not a very clever tactic.
Basically, all major film and television companies are very aware of this and have done similar things to a greater or lesser extent. For some film critics, this is also a way to monetize.
Just at this moment.
There will be a broadcast reminding you to check your tickets.
Tu Zheng and Jia Haoren began to enter with the crowd.
They bought tickets for naked-eye 3D, which is standard for blockbuster movies.
The naked-eye 3D movie viewing in major cinemas on Blue Star has become very mature.
This technology has been around for more than a decade and has given a huge boost to the development of the film and television industry. It is precisely because of this technology that the people of Blue Star have always maintained their love of watching movies in the cinema.
There are also recent rumors saying:
Naked-eye 3D viewing technology may soon enter thousands of households.
In addition, the ultra-high-definition video technology that can only be achieved in movie theaters will also be installed on ordinary people's TVs...
Enter the theater.
Tu Zheng and Jia Haoren opened their notebooks at the same time as they sat down.
Being black is also a technical job, and film reviews must be meaningful.
Watching the movie is a prerequisite, which is the essential difference between them and those keyboard warriors who start criticizing without even watching the movie. So compared to ordinary audiences who just regard watching movies as relaxation and leisure, they are already prepared to watch the movie seriously.
And during the commercial break before the movie starts.
Tu Zheng suddenly asked, "Putting aside our positions, which of these two movies do you think will be a hit?"
“It won’t explode.”
Jia Haoren smiled and said, "It's not that I don't like movies with heroines, but think about it carefully, has Blue Star ever had such a movie with a heroine that was a big hit at the box office?"
“That’s true.”
Tu Zheng nodded. Although the male-female ratio of the moviegoers was not much different, it seemed that there had never been a hit movie with a female lead.
Think about it.
Tu Zheng changed the question: "What if we only compare these two?"
Jia Haoren said: "If I analyze it from the surface, I am definitely more optimistic about Tribe, but if I consider Xianyu's ability to write scripts, I feel that the results of the two movies are hard to predict."
“I agree.”
Tu Zheng said seriously: "Although I find it very puzzling that Xianyu's movie uses zombies as a gimmick, this person always has some wonderful ideas that can turn decay into magic, such as Spider-Man. Who would have thought that he would make a neighborhood hero? So this time I suspect that he will choose an entry point that is beyond everyone's expectations, but I don't know what this entry point is."
"That's right."
Jia Haoren nodded.
Although both of them want to take money from the tribe, Jia Haoren and Tu Zheng are not completely on the side of "Blade Girl".
This has nothing to do with whether they can succeed in making money.
No matter how the two movies perform at the box office, they will not lose a penny, so the two of them can make an objective judgment in this regard.
All right.
As film critics, their professional abilities are still excellent, and the influence of their film reviews is also quite good, otherwise they would not be noticed by the tribe.
Just at this moment.
The lights dimmed.
The biochemical crisis is about to begin!
